Overview
The Allen-Bradley 700-HK36A12 is a slim line general-purpose relay designed for industrial control and automation applications. This 12VAC coil relay features a single pole double throw (SPDT) contact configuration with a standard 16A contact rating, making it suitable for switching moderate power loads in control circuits. The plug-in modular design allows quick installation and replacement in standard relay sockets without requiring permanent wiring changes.
Key Features
- SPDT (Form C) contact arrangement for flexible control logic
- 12VAC 50/60 Hz coil voltage for compatibility with standard AC control circuits
- 16A contact rating supports typical industrial switching applications
- Slim line ice cube form factor fits standard 5-blade mini sockets
- AgNi (silver-nickel) contacts for reliable switching performance
- Quick-connect plug-in terminations simplify installation and replacement
